About Ms. Aurelia Figueroa


Whenever considering my life, and the happiest and most fulfilling moments contained therein, my thoughts consistently turn to my education and educational endeavors, and the pursuit of these. For these have been some of the most fulfilling, remarkable and rewarding endeavors I have pursued. The gift of education is the greatest gift anyone can receive, be it in the form of instruction, monetary assistance, or encouragement to continue academic pursuits.
 

My educational path has led in many directions. I have attended school in several countries, traveled for educational pursuits extensively, and look forward to continuing these journeys in the future. I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science, with a focus in political thought and a minor in journalism from San Jose State University in San Jose, California. I also completed graduate coursework and research in the history and philosophy of science, and British literature, at Cambridge University in Cambridge, England.  

The American Youth Scholarship Foundation is a combination of so many of my ideals, hopes, and passions. This organization presents the amazing opportunity to all involved to increase the quality of another’s life, increase support of students, and enrich one’s own life. I have been so fortunate to partake in this myself. I urge you to contribute to this organization and become involved in the future of our students.
